Help Baby Oscar and Family with his Health Journey and help the family give Oscar a brighter future
Help Oscar Walker family while baby Oscar is on his lifelong health journey and his recovery from major heart surgery and Down Syndrome
Canterbury
Please help the Caldwell-Walker family and baby Oscar on his journey to getting well. Oscar was born with a heart problem and other health issues when he entered this world away from his home town of Christchurch on 16th December 2015 in Auckland. Oscar and Jo along with the rest of the family spent Christmas in Auckland away from family and support at huge financial cost to them.
Oscar was transferred back to Christchurch when room became available in the nicu at Christchurch Woman's Hospital where he and his mother remain. Scott cannot go back to work due to Oscars brothers and sisters requiring full time care so they currently have no income. Tobey there 2 year old had never spent a night away from his mum when they were flown to Auckland urgently and is missing her like crazy.
Please help support this family on there journey as Oscar needs ongoing care and major heart surgery at 3 months of age in Auckland when the family will have to up sticks and go to Auckland with Oscar and Jo while Oscar has surgery and recovers he then has other issues to face and will require ongoing care from home with his loving family.
This really is a family who needs and deserves our love and support. As a lot of you know being a nicu family is hard work on its own but when you have 5 children along with one who needs ongoing care and extra love and attention it must be very hard.
Oscar is working hard to be able to go home for a while but still requires tube feeding and monitoring but is just not quite there so please help out this family.
Thank you

I am involved as I meet Jo, Scott and Oscar on there nicu journey and along with Rebecca and Rhys who I also met we spent plenty of time getting to know one another on our journeys as parents of nicu babies. The support Jo gave us first time mothers with training wheels was great and we are now firm friends as we live in each other's pockets up here and support each other through. Oscar and family have the biggest journey and need our love and support and the support of others to get through this period in there lives 😀💖

Help Needed To Honour a Dying Wish 5 June 2016
it just seams never ending when things happen they happen just one thing after the another and we really need your support in order to help out this special family.
The Caldwall-Walker Family along with all baby Oscar's ongoing health issues have just found out that they have a dying family member in Australia a beloved Uncle who really wants to meet the very special Oscar, Tobey and Gorja before his life ends.
Obviously due to the very rough ride the family is currently travelling with Oscar and his journey to recovery from heart surgery and his ongoing health battles including down syndrome they are not in a position to be able to afford and travel to see their beloved uncle. Life has been very tough on them the last 7 months or so since they found out about Oscar's health issues and then the rough ride they are enduring though all of this with no income.
They never complain and try to take it all in their stride but i know the financial strain this is taking on the family due to not being able to work while Oscar is travelling back and forwards to Auckland and for looking after their beautiful 2 year old at the same time. Sometimes i just do not know how they do it and try to keep smiling as this is life changing and and a very stressful journey but so very worth it when you have the love for a child you want to help and let that child have the best life possilble with all the difficulties Oscar will face in his journey.
If you could find it in your heart to help this family who need help on there journey and to make a mans dying wish come true. please help out if you can. Oscar is the most beautiful baby ever with such a great resilience it makes your heat melt to see him fighting so very hard.
Please help if you can and if you have any items you could donate to a trade me charity auction please contact me on julia.ryall@clear.net.nz.
